Boundary Fire Walls

IMPORTANT NOTICE: FireCrunch MgO Board FCA is a “Non-Metal Corrosive”, MgO “Sulphate” Board (MgSO4), Australian NATA Labs Certified, Click Here for Non Chloride Non Corrosive Content Certificate.

Boundary fire walls are required when two adjacent buildings are constructed within a certain minimum distance from the building boundary or actually on the boundary and fire resistant buildings board is required to enable such a fire safe building and fire separation wall to be constructed.

FireCrunch is fire tested and certified to BCA standards from FRL 30/30/30 BAL FZ ( Bushfires)to FRL 90/90/90 high-rise residential apartment blocks and commercial buildings it is also used extensively for boundary firewalls where extremes of FRL to 90/90/90 are required

Fire safe Gyprock alternative building board like Firecrunch is required to suit the long term requirement in exterior weather conditions affecting boundary fire walls . Firecrunch Magnesium Oxide (MgO) Board or MgO board is a fire safe building board and fire tested building board which will meet the boundary fire wall provisions

Additionally, FireCrunch is an environmental building board with less than 5% pollute Co2 in manufacture ( New Scientist magazine ) USA ,and is a bushfire building and bushfire safe building product manufactured from Magnesium Oxide (MgO) and other composites which has been fire tested by the CSIRO to make it Australia only real Bushfire safe building board
